延續上週面試提問話題，“What is your salary range expectation?” 關於你所期望的薪資，是很多求職者必答的問題。如果沒有透過獵人頭公司仲介，自己絕對會被問到; 即使有獵頭顧問居中協調，面試官仍會當面詢問你的期待薪資。因此，事前確認期待的薪資範圍變得很重要，而這個範圍得符合該公司職位的平均值，並且巧妙地帶出願意進一步協調的空間。或者，更聰明的方式是，間接的回答該問題，讓這個問題可以留待下次，或者由獵人頭顧問來代你回覆。
Before I answer, I’d like to get a better idea of what the position entails. That way, I can provide a more realistic expectation.
在我回答之前，我想更清楚地了解這個職位需要些什麼。這樣，我可以提供一個更實際的期望。
While I am certainly flexible, I am looking to receive between XX and XX annually. Due to my skill set and experience level, I feel that this is a comfortable and appropriate range for my work.
這部分我當然是有彈性的，我希望每年能收到XX到XX之間，由於我的技能和過往經驗，我覺得這是一個舒適和合適的範圍。
Thank you for asking. I feel that an annual salary between XX and XX is in line with the industry average and reflects my skills and experience level well. I am, however, flexible and open to hearing about the company’s compensation expectations for this position.
謝謝您的詢問。我覺得年薪在XX至XX之間符合這個行業平均值，也恰當地反映我的技能和經驗，不過，我對這個職位的薪資期望，也是持開放彈性的空間。
My salary expectation is between XXX and XXX, which is the average salary for a candidate with my level of experience in this city. However, I am flexible and willing to discuss.
我的薪資期望值在XXX至XXX之間，這是這個地區像我這樣經驗背景的應聘者平均薪資。不過，這是有彈性空間的，我也願意討論。
另外，當被問到 "Why do you want to work here?” 為何想在這間公司工作時?
這個問題的回答關鍵，必須從工作職責，公司網站，企業價值和公司文化中找出符合事實的合適答案。以下提供幾種回答這個問題的範例以及商業常用片語：
